I'm on my phone on edge, so forgive me if this has been asked before. I can't flash any current kernels with RC2.11. When I do, I lose access to my home button. It vibrates on short press, but does nothing. I downloaded the Captivate 107 kernel. It also happens with the kernel before that. Every other button works fine. Anyone have any thoughts?

I flashed RC2.11, a slightly older kernel that has most things working, then updated to the newest 107 kernel. This has happened repeatedly, clearing cache, data, dalvic, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Take that back. 3165 fixed light/proximity sensor. 3180 works if flashed after 3165

Edit: not 3165 I think it was 3146 let me flash and confirm.

Edit2:I flashed 3148 found http://db.tt/fyhSAZkO and then flashed 3180 and got working sensors

Well I have never gotten over 4 hours of screen time on any rom and I have tried many since launch date of the captivate. I get 6 hours on this rom (battery 1.5 years old), scared to change anything as I might loose that. This rom performs better than any gingerbread rom that I have used too so it is perfect for me.

How to revert back to GB from ICS?

You'll need odin to get back to gb.

Unless there is a gb rom that is compatible with cwm 5.5

Odin back to stock then install your rom of choice.

in my case i was able to revert back to GB MIUI from ICS it just takes two flashes to do so, but im still loving this ICS port so im stuck here.

Im using the ICS glitch kernel and i have been getting goofy issues with the camera, like i'll go to take a pic and it wont even show a preview of it in the gallery and just greys out.

[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
So RC2.11 is running absolutly amazing with Nushor's latest kernel (3189)

- Camera is working

- WIFI stays connected

- Smooth as hell !!!! :)

The only thing left for me is buying apps from the Market still does not work.

I tried looking and searching, found some hints, but nothing that really confirms how to fix this or if there is a fix.

I tried installing gapps7.1 from teamhacksung but that detroyed all my google apps and could not even add a gmail account to sync.. Had to reflash 2.11 to fix...

Is there a official fix for this ?

Thanks again to everyone invovled in porting that ICS AOSP to the Captivate... The phone has been dropped by samsung for future updates but is still alive because of you guys ! :)
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
I can help you with that. I had the same problem. Tried EVERYTHING and could not get my "build.prop" problem fixed.

The only thing that will actually fix this for you is flashing ALL the way back to stock 2.3.5, via Odin one-click. You can backup all your apps with TiBu first. Also, just in case, you may want to use a root file explorer to copy your /efs folder to your SD card before you start. This is just in case you somehow bork your IMEI. This is rare, but it happens, and that's a BIIIIITCH. Very easy to fix, if you made a copy of the /efs folder :)

Start with this: http://www.multiupload.com/5JMELEWCGW

Follow this sequence:

1. Open Odin from the link above

2. Get to DL mode on your phone

3. Plug your phone into your PC

4. Let Odin detect the device, then hit start.

It will reboot when it's done. Let it boot to old-school Android, and then power down and go into CWM. Factory reset/wipe everything, and then format /system, /cache, /data, /datadata, and even /boot (this is safe, I always wipe this. It's not bootloaders).

Flash 2.11 (it will re-boot once *during* the flash, don't panic, that's normal). Then flash the latest Nushor or Glitch14 Preview4 kernel (without rebooting first). I much prefer Glitch14, I find it smoother and better battery life. You can find it here:

http://androtransfer.com/tk-glitch/...vate/CM9-captivatemtd-Glitch-V14-Preview4.zip

From there, you're good to go with your brand spanking new install of ICS, and when you get in you can TiBu your apps back.

Everything works better after flashing back to stock with Odin first. Your market will work (no more "your device is not compatible" message), nothing will force close, and battery life is outstanding (in my personal experience, battery life does get better this way as well, especially if you do all this right after a full charge).

As a final touch, there's some sweet mods for this ROM here (the circle battery mod is the best one):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1425183

..and I personally use RAM Manager, free from the market. It's designed to work with ICS, and it's written by the guy who brought us all those wicked tweak scripts for GB. You can get it here:

Voice calling has bad echo

So did a full wipe and install of ICSSGS RC2.

[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
I have not seen this on the latest error reports, so sorry if I repeat it.

Since RC1, sometimes my phone locks up when I receive a call and doesn't allow me to answer or decline the call - screen is frozen. To answer the phone, I need to hit my power button twice - once to go to black screen and again to get the active screen.

I also noticed that it doesn't allow me to switch call very well either. I am on one call and another call comes in. If I tell it to switch to 2nd call, it freaks out and gives me an error saying that it could not switch or just gets lost and doesn't know what to do.

Build.prop

You know what's a huge pain for me? Maybe someone else has experienced this...

Every time I flash a new kernel, I lose my market compatibility (also known as the build.prop problem). After that, the only way to get it back to normal is to start from scratch (i.e. Odin scratch, not even just re-flashing the ROM).

So, I did a test just now. I had a working build.prop (no "your phone is not compatible" message in the market). I wanted to flash the latest Nushor.

I just tried two things:

1. I backed up my build.prop file from the /system folder before flashing

2. I made a nandroid backup from CWM before flashing.

I flashed the latest Nushor, and wouldn't you know it, my build prop is borked again. So I re-instated my "working" build.prop, wiped market data, and rebooted. Still busted.

I then booted into CWM and restored the backup I had made before flashing. Surely, this would put me right back to where I was before flashing the new kernel right?

NOPE!! Still no market compatibility. Can't download Words with Friends or NSTools (these are my two tester apps, to see if my build.prop is working).

Anyone have any ideas? Now I have to go all the way back to 2.3.5 stock via Odin. Just to flash a new kernel? Seems a little ridiculous.....

Any help is much appreciated.

Yes because I feel that direct comparing of 2 ICS ports is unnecessary. Both devs are working hard to bring us ICS in different ways. One as a pure AOSP another as the next CM9. Considering its a matter of opinion and no 2 phones are the same, it's better for you to try it than to ask for opinions over it.

I tried to install this ROM today to no avail. it would constantly get stuck on the boot animation. I let it go as long as 15 minutes. still never got to taste the Icecream.

I ahve read just about every page and post here. been following since about page 10! I tried to flash over a GB rom, over CM7, everything.... Lastly, I went to STOCK STOCK! then flashed to GB stock, to CM7 then to this Rom. Nada. Never saw anything but the boot animation. I pulled the battery, rewiped everything and reflashed the ROM yet again. Nope. ended up going back to stock GB and then to Mosaic9.

Did I miss something? I really wanted to taste the Ice Cream.
